Fact or Fiction: Pirates separates reality from fantasy, looking at extraordinary lives made more extraordinary by embellishment from writers and filmmakers. Enter a world of fact stranger than fiction where pirates tie lighted matches to their hair, where women dressed as men stalk the Caribbean for Spanish gold, and where today's pirates raid tankers for television sets. From Blackbeard to Lai Choi San, the "Queen of the Macao Pirates," Fact or Fiction: Pirates tells you the way it was and is.
